ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Devil Rays pitcher Wilson Alvarez left Sunday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays in the sixth inning with a pulled rib-cage muscle.
Alvarez went down to one knee and grabbed his right side after making a 2-2 pitch to Carlos Delgado.
The left-hander was making his second start after missing the previous two seasons while recovering from a partial left rotator cuff tear.
Alvarez allowed two runs and two hits in 5 2-3 innings Sunday. He struck out seven and walked three.
The second run charged to Alvarez came after Jesus Colome threw ball four to Delgado and then gave up a two-run homer to Jose Cruz Jr.
